Saturday Morning Run in Appleton

September thru May

These runs are open to the public. You do not need to be a PaceSetters Member to join these runs.

After the run, we reconvene at Copper Rock Coffee for, you guessed it, coffee and socializing.

These runs occur over the cooler months, starting the week after the Fox Cities Marathon in September through May or June. Around May or June, these runs do not occur as we instead convene at Crunch Fitness on Saturday Morning for training runs leading up to the Fox Cities Marathon.

There is a 6 mile, 8 mile and 10 mile route, and it doesn't matter how so-called "fast" you run. Your participation is what matters, not your performance!

Community First Fox Cities Marathon Training Runs at Crunch Fitness

These runs are open to the public. These are used to train for the Community First Fox Cities Marathon. However, you do not need to be signed up for the Community First Fox Cities Marathon to join these runs. And you do not need to be a PaceSetters Member to join these runs. But you must complete this Crunch Fitness pass if you want to use the restrooms in Crunch Fitness.

There are shorter runs for those training for the Half Marathon and longer runs for the Full Marathon. Near the beginning of the training season, the runs are shorter distance, and slowly the distance is increased, week by week.


Before these runs, we convene on the east side of Crunch Fitness. Just look for the group of runners and the PaceSetters table. There is parking across the street.

After the run, we reconvene at Crunch to refuel with fruit, Dunkin donuts, water, gatorade, and a bit of socializing.
